It's off and running..

Well it's only the first day of the official 16 weeks of Olympic training but I got out of bed at 5am and went to the gym to get my scheduled 500 yard swim in and then I hit the stationary bike for 10 mins or 23 mins, keeping rmp around 90. I really wanted to get the bike in this afternoon but schedule changes on the home front caused me to wrap it up this am.

Hey, I was proud that I got my lazy ass up outta the nice warm bed and headed out to the gym while it was 38*. Ol' splashy guy was there, wrote about him a few months back, but he was there still at it. During my swim I realized that my form is all over the place and I need to bring my kick board and pull buoy to work on those things on top of my required workout distance so I have some work to do. Tomorrow, I will get to swim workout #2 for the week and again because of family schedule changes I will have to get my run done in the am, from which I had planned on it being the after work. It's like the anti-training gods are already trying to push me away!

The weekend was spent in the chiropractic seminar sat/sun and although it was better than last year it was still long and boring. The best thing is seeing other chiros you haven't seen in a long time and finding out what they have been up to, where they are and any ideas they can help you with. Other than that, I was just at home for some relaxing and yesterday even got to watch Harry Potter and the Scorers Stone.

Have a great week, great training, great relaxing or what ever makes you happy...

Just keep at it in the pool and your form will get better-- it does improve as you put the hours in on your swimming! Also, if it fits in your schedule you should try to hook up with an HRTC swim session where a coach can give you some pointers.

Keep up the good work! I'm thinking of doing CapTex too, so maybe we'll see each other. :)
